Looking for recommendations for replacement headlight bulb and fog light.
Title for attention

Headlights - I'm running 35W HID bulb conversions from DDM tuning. Lots of light, good cutoffs, I don't get flashed, and they were only $35 for the pair.

Fogs - I'm running a set of high output LEDs from superbright LEDs in the Denali, and some high-output LED bulbs from Amazon in my Suburban.

I'd purchased LED headlights for the Denali also from SuperbrightLEDs, but one went out after six months, and then I started getting a flicker on the replacement. So I went back to HID.

How much work is the conversion?

Plug and play. Only thing you have to do is find a place to mount the small plate that holds the ballast. Maybe a 15-minute job, but you do need pretty full access to the headlight housings. I was already ripping the front end apart for other things, so this made it easy. I honestly don't recall if I was able to do the Denali by just loosening the headlight housings.

Currently running LED's here. Diode Dynamics SL1's in headlights and OPT7's in fog
I ordered SL1s for highs, lows, and fogs on Black Friday. Are you running them in your highs? I actually cancelled my order for high beams yesterday cause I didn't think they'd fit in front of the core support...
